Polyporus (Amaurodermus) rugosissimus.
NOTE 99.-This is probably best held as a variety of Polyporus rugosus, with
which it apparently agrees in every respect excepting the pileus, which in Polyporus rugosus
is even, or slightly rugulose, and in this specimen is strongly scobiculate. As the specimen
is sterile and no spores found, the matter is not sure, but otherwise it is so similar to
rugosus that we have little doubt.

Polyporus (Amaurodermus) conicus.
NOTE 100. Pileus conical in section with depressed center. Surface glabrous,
brown. Pores shallow, medium large (200-300 mic.), dark. Stipe with a rooting base,
5-8 cm. long, %-% cm. thick. Surface of stipe minutely velutinate, light brown color. Context
pale, almost white. Spores globose, pale colored, smooth, 8-10 mic. in diameter. This
species belongs to Section 5 of our pamphlet on Stipitate Polyporoids. It differs from all
others in the large, shallow pores, and no other approaches it in the shape of the pileus.
Since the above is in type, I find that specimens have recently been received at Kew
from Singapore. These specimens do not have shallow pores, and it is probable that they
are better developed, or that the plant varies in this regard.
